It is to limit the movement in a direction parallel to the direction. The first force component 312 acts toward the first body portion 302.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a coil winding device, and in particular, but not limited to, a device for winding a fully annealed tube into a coil with minimal work hardening.
Annealing processes are commonly used in copper tubes to improve the properties of the tubes for use in products such as refrigeration units. Referring to FIG. 1, coils of a hard copper tube stored in a
A first method of winding a fully annealed tube into a coil is shown in Figures 2 (a) and (2), in which a set of rollers (100) are shown, between the rollers The distance can be adjusted. The
However, such a process has a number of limitations. For example, the use of the
When using such a first method of tube winding, nitrogen gas needs to be blown through the tube in an 'upstream' direction towards the apparatus performing the annealing process. This gas is used to remove oxygen from the tube while the tube is annealed to reduce the formation of impurities on the inner surface of the tube. Typically, the tube is passively coupled to a back purge system that is used to blow nitrogen gas back through the tube. In this example, the first few windings of the coil will not anneal correctly because the tube will not move at the correct speed through the anneal apparatus. As a result, the first few windings of the final coil will not comply with the specification.
A second method of winding the tube into the coil is shown in FIG. 3. This figure shows a
This second method of winding the tube into coils has an advantage over the first method in that each of the layers of coils is wound tighter and the spacing between each coil is configured more accurately.
However, the second method has the disadvantage that significant work hardening is applied to the tube while the tube is wound into a coil. This requires that the length of the tube wound tightly by the second winding method should be annealed in an oven after the winding process. However, the maximum size of the coil is determined by the size of the annealing furnace.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention aim to solve the above disadvantages of the prior art.
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided an apparatus for winding an elongate member into a coil, the apparatus comprising:
At least one first body portion adapted to rotate about a first axis;
Fixing means for securing a portion of the elongate member to at least one said first body portion; And
Force application means for applying a force to the elongate member;
The force includes a first force component and a second force component acting in each of the first and second directions perpendicular to each other, wherein the first direction and Limiting movement in a direction parallel to the second direction, the first force component acts toward the first body portion to which the elongate member is fixed.
One coil while the coil is being wound by applying a force having a first force component and a second force component perpendicular to the tube while the tube is wound so as to be a plurality of coils stacked on top of another coil. It is possible for each individual winding in the body to be held in place. By applying a force in the direction of the winding portion preceding each individual winding portion in the coil while the coil is being wound, the advantage is provided that the coil is wound more closely. By applying downward force to each winding in the coil while the coil is being wound, the windings in each of the layers of coils stacked on top of the other coil layer do not overlap with the windings of the coils in the different layers. This provides the advantage of minimizing the cubic space per coil required for packaging and transportation, and also minimizes the free space between the windings of each coil, thereby overlapping in otherwise concentric coil layers. Movement and potential collisions of the windings are made possible to reduce the possibility of damage that can be inflicted on the individual coils during transportation.
The winding device of the present invention provides the advantages described above while at the same time minimizing work hardening on the tube while the tube is being wound.
In a preferred embodiment, the means for applying the force comprises a second body portion from which the plurality of bristles extend.
Bristle offers the advantage of applying two orthogonal force components to the tube while the tube is wound, to provide the advantages described above.
In another preferred embodiment, at least one of the first body portion or the second body portion forms a planar surface.
This has the advantage that the tube provides a surface on which it can be easily wound up and released and also has the advantage that the device used to transport such wound tube is simplified.
In another preferred embodiment, at least one of the first body portion or the second body portion is adapted to move along the first axis.
This offers the advantage of quickly winding up a plurality of coil layers and also minimizes the length of bristle required to provide other advantages of the present invention.
In a preferred embodiment, the elongate member is wound to be a coil, from the inner side of the first body portion adjacent the center of the first body portion to the outer side of the first body portion adjacent the edge of the first body.
In another preferred embodiment, the elongate member is wound to be a coil from the outer side of the first body portion adjacent the edge of the first body portion to the inner side of the first body portion adjacent the center of the first body portion.
In another preferred embodiment, the elongate member is an elongate tube.
In a preferred embodiment, the coil winding device further comprises a guide, wherein the elongate member extends from the guide and engages with the device.
In another preferred embodiment, the first body portion is adapted to move relative to the guide portion.
This provides the advantage of using the apparatus of the present invention to more accurately control the diameter of each of the windings in the coil so wound.
In another preferred embodiment, the coil winding apparatus further includes an annealing portion for annealing at least a portion of the elongate member before the elongated member is wound into a coil.
This provides the advantage of minimizing the degree of work hardening of the coil once the coil is wound up. Furthermore, by annealing the tube before the tube is wound into the coil, it is possible for the individual parts of the tube to be annealed separately, rather than annealed at once after the entire tube has been wound into the coil. This provides the advantage that the size of the furnace used to anneal the tube to be wound using the device of the invention is reduced.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a method of winding a long member to be a coil, the method comprising:
Securing a portion of the elongate member to the first body portion;
Winding the elongate member into a coil by rotating the first body portion about a first axis; And
Applying a force to the elongate member using force application means;
The force includes a first force component and a second force component acting in each of the first and second directions perpendicular to each other, wherein the first direction and Limiting movement in a direction parallel to the second direction, the first force component acts toward the first body portion to which the elongate member is fixed.
In a preferred method, the winding method of the elongate member further comprises moving the first body portion and the force application means relative to each other along the first axis.
In another preferred method, the elongate member is wound to be a coil from the inner side of the first body portion adjacent to the center of the first body portion to the outer side of the first body portion adjacent to the edge of the first body portion.
In another preferred method, the elongate member is wound to be a coil from the outer side of the first body portion adjacent to the edge of the first body portion to the inner side of the first body portion adjacent to the center of the first body portion.
In a preferred method, the winding method of the elongate member further includes annealing the elongated member before the elongated member is wound to be a coil.
According to the present invention, there is provided a coil winding apparatus and a method of winding an elongated member in which disadvantages of the prior art are solved.
